A '70s Flash Marriage: Raising Cubs, Making Millions

Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Arrival at the Base

When the two were taken away, the enthusiastic crowd that just persuaded Fu Xiaoxiao quickly backed off, covering their faces.

The more passionate the persuasion, the more their faces hurt now.

Fu Xiaoxiao calmly glanced at those people, took her lunchbox and returned to her seat.

”Are you okay?” Lu Feng looked at Fu Xiaoxiao and asked softly.

”I’m fine. What could happen to me? Come sit and eat quickly, or else the food will get cold.” Fu Xiaoxiao cheerily invited Lu Feng to sit down and pushed the opened lunchbox towards him.

Lu Feng paused and pushed the lunchbox back to Fu Xiaoxiao.

”I bought this braised pork for you.”

”You eat the braised pork, I’ll eat this tomato scrambled eggs.” Fu Xiaoxiao smiled and pushed the meat dish towards Lu Feng.

Lu Feng pushed the meat dish in front of Fu Xiaoxiao and reached for the vegetarian dish himself.

Fu Xiaoxiao looked up helplessly; if they kept being polite, the food would truly get cold.

She grabbed Lu Feng’s hand, placed the two lunchboxes together, and picked some dishes from each.

”Is this better? Both meat and vegetables are included.” Fu Xiaoxiao smiled brightly.

Fu Xiaoxiao was quite looking forward to the taste of this lunchbox, but as soon as the braised pork entered her mouth, the greasy feeling immediately made her frown.

”What’s wrong?” Lu Feng noticed the change in Fu Xiaoxiao’s expression and asked.

Fu Xiaoxiao was struggling to swallow the braised pork.

Just when Fu Xiaoxiao was in a dilemma, Lu Feng’s lunchbox was extended in front of her.

Fu Xiaoxiao was taken aback as Lu Feng signaled her to put the braised pork into his lunchbox.

”I... already bit this piece.” Fu Xiaoxiao was embarrassed to give him what she had already eaten, so she picked up the other pieces from her lunchbox and gave them to Lu Feng.

Lu Feng devoured them like a gust of wind sweeping through.

Fu Xiaoxiao had only eaten half, and her stomach, long unused to being full, had already reached its limit.

Without hesitation, Lu Feng took her lunchbox.

”Sorry.” Fu Xiaoxiao lowered her head with shame, letting Lu Feng eat her leftovers.

In this era, food was precious, and leaving leftovers was disgraceful.

”No need to say sorry to me; you are my wife, and it’s my duty to take care of you.” Lu Feng didn’t think there was anything wrong with it; it was he who owed her, unable to give her a complete life.

Lu Feng took the empty lunchboxes back, and as she watched his back, Fu Xiaoxiao felt a small surge of emotion.

This husband is quite nice!

Once they arrived at their destination, she would certainly work diligently for him, making sure he wouldn’t have to worry about the household, giving him peace of mind.

With a full stomach, Fu Xiaoxiao drifted off to sleep, and when Lu Feng gently woke her, they had finally arrived at their destination.

After an entire day on the train, Fu Xiaoxiao was relieved that Lu Feng had bought a sleeper ticket; a hard seat would’ve been torture.

Lu Feng took the lead with their luggage, and Fu Xiaoxiao followed closely behind, disembarking with the crowd.

”Camp Commander Lu! Over here! Over here!” A soldier waved frantically in the crowd, and upon hearing him, Lu Feng led Fu Xiaoxiao over.

”Hello, sister-in-law, I’m Wang Lu. You can call me Xiao Lu.” Xiao Lu saluted Fu Xiaoxiao with shining eyes, seeing her behind Lu Feng.

”Xiao Lu, hello, I’m Fu Xiaoxiao.” Fu Xiaoxiao nodded and smiled at Wang Lu.

Wang Lu took the luggage from Lu Feng and led them to the car.

”Let’s head back quickly! The commander is waiting for you!”

Fu Xiaoxiao sat in the back seat with Lu Feng, and Wang Lu drove at a fast pace, causing Fu Xiaoxiao to almost topple over several times.

She couldn’t help but look at Lu Feng curiously, only to see him sitting straight and steady like an old dog.

”Ah!” The car hit a small bump, and Fu Xiaoxiao, unprepared, was jolted upward, nearly hitting the car door.

”Careful.” Lu Feng grabbed Fu Xiaoxiao and pulled her towards him, and she fell into his embrace, feeling like her face hit a wall, with tears of pain welling up.

Raising her eyes, she was face to face with Lu Feng’s chest, and she reached out to press it.

So firm.

Lu Feng looked with amusement at Fu Xiaoxiao’s mischievous little hand.

Fu Xiaoxiao quickly sat up properly and rubbed her nose.

”Drive more steadily.” Lu Feng’s dark eyes glanced at Wang Lu.

”I’m sorry, sister-in-law.” Wang Lu felt a chill down his back and immediately slowed the car.

— Previously, Lu Feng couldn’t wait for him to floor the gas pedal, but now he’s telling him to drive steadily. Truly, with a wife, he’s become more considerate.

Fu Xiaoxiao watched the scenery outside; the road became more remote, and an hour later, they finally reached the military base.

As soon as she got out of the car, Fu Xiaoxiao became the center of attention. The soldiers in training widened their eyes in disbelief upon seeing her beside Lu Feng.

Their living Yama had actually brought back a woman, and she was so beautiful.

They never thought they’d live to see the day when the iron tree actually bloomed.

”Seems like you all have free time, huh? An extra hour of training.” Lu Feng scanned the group with cold eyes.

”Oww~” The soldiers’ faces changed drastically, and they let out tragic wails.

”Let’s go!” In front of Fu Xiaoxiao, Lu Feng’s expression softened slightly, and he picked up the luggage, heading towards the family quarters.

When they arrived at the family quarters, the appearance of Fu Xiaoxiao and Lu Feng caught quite a bit of attention, and Fu Xiaoxiao sensed a wave of gossip in the air, with a hint of curiosity and pity in the eyes of the fellow wives.

Curiosity was understandable, but pity?

”Camp Commander Lu, who’s this?” A few curious older wives were chatting at the door and asked boldly.

”This is my wife, Fu Xiaoxiao.” Lu Feng nodded at them, introducing her.

”Hello, ladies.” Fu Xiaoxiao gave a polite smile.

”That’s wonderful, finally, someone to help you take care of the two kids.”

”Indeed, those two kids are always out and about, and Camp Commander Lu doesn’t have time to manage them, tsk tsk tsk.”

”Xiao Fu, you must discipline them well.”

The older wives advised one after another.

Fu Xiaoxiao smiled faintly without responding, unwilling to make any conclusions before meeting the kids herself.

Lu Feng carried the luggage inside, while Fu Xiaoxiao nodded to the older wives and turned to follow him into the courtyard.

”Oh dear, Camp Commander Lu, you finally returned, or else the sky would collapse. I can’t deal with your two little monkeys any longer; look at the mess they’ve made, catching bugs to scare me, an old lady.”

As soon as Fu Xiaoxiao entered, she saw an old lady complaining to Lu Feng, with the floor in chaos, clearly after a grand battle.

”Aunt Li, I’m truly sorry for making you worry. Rest assured, I’ll pay you double for today’s trouble.” Lu Feng sighed, ready to compensate Aunt Li.

A hint of smugness and disdain flashed in Aunt Li’s eyes, and Fu Xiaoxiao stepped forward to stop Lu Feng’s hand.

”Could you please tell me in detail what they did today? I want to know exactly what happened.” Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Aunt Li with an undeniable smile.

Lu Feng was taken aback; although he didn’t understand Fu Xiaoxiao’s intention, he still respected her, signaling Aunt Li to explain the situation.

”Didn’t I already tell you? The two kids went out in the morning after I scolded them and came back with a bunch of bugs to scare me, an old lady...” Aunt Li skillfully fabricated a lie.
